The recent announcement of La Liga's salary cap was an eye-opener. Real Madrid ended with 7The huge salary cap of 2.7 billion euros sits firmly in the top spot in La Liga, while the situation of Barcelona is not so optimistic, with a salary cap of only 20.4 billion euros, but the actual wage expenditure is more than double that figure, reaching a staggering 400 million euros.
After this number came out, I, as an ordinary fan, was really shocked and anxious. Barcelona's financial situation is like a sword of Damocles hanging over its head. Thinking about what a beautiful Barcelona was back then, but now it is in such a predicament because of financial problems, which is really embarrassing. Look at Real Madrid again, as stable as an old dog, financially healthy enough to casually talk about signing a sky-high player like Mbappe, which is really envious, jealous and hateful.
La Liga president Tevas's words hit the nail on the head, Barcelona's total salary is almost double its salary cap, while Real Madrid is a "very healthy team", which is too far behind. Barcelona's current situation not only needs to leave salary space for new players, but also has to worry about the players who have already signed.
Atletico Madrid is also in an interesting situation, with their salary cap increasing slightly, even surpassing Barcelona to second place. It seems that in La Liga, only financially healthy clubs can make a difference in the transfer market, otherwise they will be led by the rope of the salary cap.
As fans, we care most about the team and the good game. But the financial health behind this is just as important for the club's long-term development. I hope that Barcelona can get out of the financial crisis as soon as possible and return to its former glory. At the same time, I also hope that the other clubs in La Liga can maintain their financial health, so that we football fans can see more exciting games than the financial drama in the transfer market.
